Photo Talk Plus, Episode 27, With Special Guest Tamara Pruessner

Lotus Carroll and I had a GREAT time last night interviewing the wonderful Tamara Pruessner. Some of you know Tamara through her photo work on Google+ as well as her work as one of the hosts on the photography video show Life Through the Lens. Tamara talked about her photography work as a storm chaser, her work with flowers and her future plans in the upcoming year.

Panelists for last night show included Scott Jarvie, Tara Romasanta, roma g, and Keith Barrett.

Last night’s topics included the Google+ “Get Started List” (I think we all agreed that Scott Jarvie should be added to it), how Meagan Kunert ruined her career, Louis Gray’s post “Pictures or it Didn’t Happen,” and a few new Google+ enhancements added yesterday.

Congratulations to Billy Wilson who correctly identified that Lotus Carroll was the first guest ever on Life Through the Lens and won a one-year SmugMug Basic Account subscription.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for last night’s show and we can’t wait to interview Jordana Wright next week, fresh off of her America by Rail photography tour!

Welcome Adorama

Lotus Carroll and I are SUPER excited to announce that Adorama has joined Photo Talk Plus as a sponsor for our show.

When we started the show we decided that we would limit the number of sponsors that we’d accept to four. All four companies had to be companies that we both naturally enthusiastically used and that we would feel happy supporting and personally endorsing. Adorama is definitely that type of company. I’ve bought lots of gear from Adorama over the years myself and have found them to always have consistent low prices and GREAT customer service. Our other two sponsors SmugMug and Blurb Books equally are companies that both Lotus and I can stand behind and personally endorse.

Many in the photo community know Joel Meisels who has been Adorama’s public face to the photo community for a long time. Joel has been an instrumental advocate for photography in social media working for Adorama and Lotus and I are excited that we’ll get to work with him more now.

Another Adorama great is Helen Oster. Helen actually personally assisted me in getting my Canon 5D Mark II a few years back when I hadn’t been able to get one for months. Helen has provided amazing service to photographers over the years and is great at engaging with social media for the company.

To kick off our new relationship with Adorama, *we will be giving away a $500 Adorama gift card live to one of our viewers on tomorrow night’s show.* Be sure to tune in at 8PM PST when we interview the one and only Sly Vegas. Joining Sly will be panelists Richard Hay kora foto morgana Robin Griggs Wood Jon Armstrong and Keith Barrett.

And the next time you need to buy anything camera related check out http://adorama.com where you will get a great price and great service on whatever you might need.
